Bike Truckee stocks every child attachment you might need for a short family getaway: double Thule Cadence child trailers that carry up to two children (100 lb limit), and Tag‑A‑Long children’s bikes for kids who want to pedal while hitched to an adult bike. Rentals are two‑day bookings added to an adult bike rental; when you’re ready you select a date and pick‑up time at the shop. All bike rentals include a helmet and a map of the paved trails, and optional items such as a lock or backpack are available on request.

THE GEAR

Complete kid‑centric attachments

Bike Truckee offers double Thule Cadence child trailers that carry two children up to a combined 100 lb, plus Tag‑A‑Long children’s bikes so youngsters who aren’t ready to ride solo can still pedal along.

THE FIT

Compatibility matters

Tag‑A‑Long units are available only with Specialized Rolls; trailers pair with Specialized Rolls and E‑Bikes—plan your adult bike rental accordingly before adding a child attachment.

THE COST

Straightforward two‑day rates

Two‑day pricing is simple: child double trailers are $70 and Tag‑A‑Long bikes are $55. Helmets and a paved‑trail map are included with bike rentals; locks and backpacks can be requested.

What the day feels like

What the rental feels like

The experience is an add‑on to an adult bike rental: you reserve an adult bike, select a date and pick‑up time, then collect the chosen child attachment at the shop. You leave with a helmet and a map of Truckee’s paved trails; optional lock and backpack are available if you request them. Trailers and Tag‑A‑Longs let families keep children close while covering local paved routes over a two‑day window.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental setup is for—and who should plan differently.

1
Active FamiliesIdeal if you’re renting an adult bike and want secure, family‑friendly attachments for two days of paved‑trail riding; helmets and route maps are included.
2
Parents of young childrenWell suited: double trailers carry two children and Tag‑A‑Longs let younger kids pedal while attached to an adult—note the 100 lb trailer limit.
3
Guests with specialized bike needsPlan ahead: Tag‑A‑Longs work only with Specialized Rolls, and trailers require either Specialized Rolls or E‑Bikes—confirm adult bike compatibility before booking.
4
Solo child outingsNot appropriate: child attachments are only available as additions to an adult bike rental, so they cannot be rented independently for a child to ride alone.
